SAVANNAH, Georgia — The discrimination lawsuit that led to the downfall of celebrity chef Paula Deen has been dismissed by a federal judge.

WTOC-TV out of Savannah reported today that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia Southern Division dismissed the case with prejudice. The lawsuit was dismissed Friday after an undisclosed settlement was reached in the case.

Deen and her brother, Earl "Bubba" Hiers, were sued in March 2012 by a former employee, Lisa Jackson, who claimed racial discrimination and sexual harassment at Hiers' restaurant, Uncle Bubba's Oyster House. Jackson worked in the restaurant as a general manager.
